My Encyclopaedia Britannica, the 1970 edition, says “The People’s Republic of China . . . was founded on the principles of Marx, Lenin and Stalin, and of Mao Tse-tung’s ‘New Democracy.’” On page 595, we read: “Communist party leader Mao Tse-tung.”Marx died in 1883. But the third volume of his three-volume “Das Kapital” appeared in 1894, 11 years after his death.Who paid Marx to keep him alive while he wrote those three volumes?

Rohrabacher Signals Castro’s Death with Hopes for Cubans’ FreedomWASHINGTON – Rep. Dana Rohrabacher on Saturday issued the following statement on the death of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro:
The shouts of "Cuba Libre!" heard this jubilant hour in the streets of Miami reverberate throughout the world, wherever freedom and liberty and self-government are prized.

We must come to terms with Fidel Castro's oft-romanticized rule, understanding that what this diabolical man did was build a Caribbean Animal Farm, wherein this pretend man of the people stole from the most productive and lived high on the proverbial hog while his people eked out the most meager living.

Rohrabacher Condemns Turkey’s Erdogan on Basic Human RightsWASHINGTON – Rep. Dana Rohrabacher on Tuesday spoke out against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s widespread purges and targeted repression of his countrymen.

Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch recently have issued reports of torture and other abuses at Turkey’s detention centers and prisons. According to these sources, 36,000 priso
